Hi, hns@computer.org wrote:
Unfortunately, it isn't. The main reason is that iPhone Apps don't use GUI (AppKit) but UIKit (which is similar but more a cousin than a twin) and heavily rely on CoreGraphics, CoreAnimation and OpenGL-ES. Neither API is available through GNUstep or mySTEP. So what are your ideas/plans? Should we start working on it? Who would be interested in using it and developing?
Felipe has shown us that eh implemented at least several parts of CoreGraphics. What he has shown me was compact and very fast. I wonder if it can be brought from mgStep to GNUstep and work with our backends. Maybe Felipe knows enough of both. Also if it can be maintained in one repository for both minimizing code duplication or not.
